22. I'm going to ask a fellow DU-er to cover for me
Ann Arbor Dem.
So we should be just fine.

Or if you come to the meet-up, I'll talk about Miles Davis in my radio voice for you.

30. Actually, prices went up since the weekend
By like $100, dammit.

But it was more about convincing my husband to be home alone with the toddler for 3 days straight, you know?

I am positive :D. Yeah I am 110% sure I cant go to Boston, I have school until mid June and I cant afford to miss much since Ive missed a lot this year. You better get your ass down my way though and there better be a big meet up like this after I graduate too.

50. Chicago
I don't know yet if I'm coming or not. Last time I was in Boston I stayed at the Commander Hotel which I'm sure was very expensive but I didn't have to pay for it. I'll have to figure out if I can do this or not. I love road trips though.

53. Priceline
I have used Priceline for hotels in Cleveland, Miami, Philly, and Beverly Hills. I have always been impressed with the results. You should check it about a week before the trip. Start making half price offers. $90 for 4 stars (and work down if you like). $50 for 3. Something like that.
